I ran across this today, replacing Linux with NetBSD on a Cloud Provider
https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@winterschon/112835864896190540
I still have a hard time understanding how all the mastodon sites are related, maybe I always will :) Anyway, I could not figure out how to boost this so here it is.

Dear hacker,
How did you manage to make the webcam work with NetBSD? I can pay any amount of shitcoin you want. Plz tell me.
You can keep the videos. Don't care.

Who knew that NetBSD was available on so many small form factor boards.
Just booked my round-trip flights for EuroBSDCon in Dublin! With this step completed, Iโd say everything is set, and Iโm looking forward to attending this amazing event for the first time.
Taking this opportunity for #ThankYouTuesday to express my gratitude to the organizers ( @EuroBSDCon ) for their kindness and availability throughout the process.
I truly appreciate it!

Long post
Seeing your idea flourish into such a vibrant and supportive community is amazing. The positive atmosphere and mutual respect here are remarkable. Itโs clear your hard work and vision have paid off.
You got me directly attracted last year on Twitter when I started with social medias and we shared exactly the same mindset - not only about #BSD related content but also about how a community around should look like. You got me back more into the community and into community related services and #opensource. I took the opportunity to create a service like #BoxyBSD for the BSD community, which provides free #VMs (#FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenSolaris, #illumos) for the community to learn, practice or to build their projects. Not everyone can afford own systems to learn in real setups and here we come back to the community mindset - which I honestly took over from you by providing us all your great services!
Getting in touch with all the members of the #BSDCafe it was clear that we need something like a meeting - so we got the #BSDPub, where we can meet, discuss and share knowledge. I feel like home here in the BSDCafe and I can only recommend everyone who's interested into BSD to join.
Wishing you many more successful years ahead. Thank you for everything!

๐ก Why I Like NetBSD, or Why Portability Matters | @marcc
I want to install @netbsd onto my #macbookpro but I don't think wifi will work out of the box. ??
Hey #NetBSD #pkgsrc specialists, it's been a few days the daily insecurity mail tells me perl-5.38.2 has a symlink-attack vulnerability. But I can seem to find the (binary) update in cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/x86_64.
Also, cvsweb on pkgsrc/lang/perl5 does not seem to indicate any updates.
Have I missed something?
Where would the security update be?

Hmm. I'm thinking about only taking my eeePC on my trip as it has a nice and working copy of #NetBSD 10 that is console only. At first the Wi-Fi wasn't working, but now that I tried again, it started working.
I feel that if I need my travel router (and I may not!), I can use my phone to set it up.
Also, I wrote this post using the eeePC.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a music player for #NetBSD that fits these criteria?
1. Has no X11 dependencies as I don't have X11 installed.
2. Can be installed via the package manager.
3. Supports HTTP Audio Streams as I want to listen to streams like #aNONradio and #radiofreefedi
I'm not feeling too great today; I must have caught a mild stomach bug. And 37 degrees outside (and 33 inside) don't help at all.
Fortunately, I didn't have any major trips planned, and it's a relatively quiet Monday so far.
The client I set up the test environment for on NetBSD has approved it, so starting tomorrow, I'll begin the final setup (documenting everything for a blog post) since it's quite an interesting and fun situation. The client, an intelligent person, appreciated and understood what I proposed, showing that there are still people who can think for themselves.

Here is the spiel for my August 7 NYCBUG talk: https://www.nycbug.org/index?action=view&id=10699
As I said before, if you're in the #NYC area, come by and say hi. It's a fun talk I've been workshopping; you'll leave with some good laughs, learning some new technical knowledge, and learning how to be a better advocate for the BSDs (or whatever your open source/free software niche is).

I just received an email right before going to bed. They asked me for a specific setup, and I had no doubts.
Tomorrow morning, I'll start working on it.
And it will be on NetBSD!
Hey #BSD people. I'm speaking at NYC*BUG for the August meeting. If you're in or around #NYC come by say hi.
I, uh, have no idea where the venue is. I think NYU?
As for what I'm speaking about, I think I'm going to workshop a new talk. Designed to be funny and push the boundaries of what is truly useful for us to be doing in 2024.

I've just build Ladybird and Servo browsers in a Linux Mint machine.
Both are independent browsers in early stage of development.
I was even able to log-in to bsd.cafe using Ladybird. I didn't expect it to be compatible with a ReactJS application!
The question is: will I be able to build them in NetBSD?

If you have never tried pkgsrc, you should: it is definitely one of the best package manager out there. And it works on pretty much anything!
I updated my little Repology cli program. Now it color codes version numbers based on status. Before it was just green for up to date and red for anything else. Now it gives different colors for the other statuses.

Interesting ๐ค how #CVE are leveraged as resume items, putting #programmers #developers & project leads under pressure by #bogus CVE reports or unnecessary high CVE ratings.
Popular and obscure programs are affected in the #OpenSource #POSIX world e.g #Linux #freeBSD #netBSD #openBSD
#Curl โฐ by #Daniel #Stenberg #IP by #Fedor #Indutny & #nodeIP are popular programs hit by this #phenomena which can lead to unwarranted #panic in the users space
Yay I got it to work!!!! I have #matedesktop running on top of #NetBSD
I engaged in the most appropriate activity I could think of for a Sunday.
Finally got around to throwing a new hard drive in this Sun Blade 150 and firing it up, installing NetBSD and checking it works. Mostly a success!

I fucking love CDE now. I absolutely hated it back in the day when it popped up in my face, looking so clunky with the big window frames and everything but I feel I see something we lost now. There was a path very much not taken here.
I nearly went to tag this as retrocomputing out of habit, but this is the most recent release running on a pretty average i7 system under NetBSD 10.

Today I am hugely thankful that #NetBSD has #DTrace. It is making debugging this #bhyve UART issue significantly easier when I can see things clearly from the guest side.
That said, it's a little frustrating that I can't trace bus_space_*() as they are implemented in assembly without DTrace hooks, and the functions that call them are inlined away.
I love getting such mails! Thanks a lot for shipping them @mischa@exquisite.social & @OpenBSDAms@bsd.network!

Welp, I had to sadly cancel my experimentation with #NetBSD.
Couldn't wrap my head around the storage system to set up disk encryption, and when my #PinebookPro developed a structural fault that prevented me from daily-driving it, I had to adapt the next-best machine I had available to that use.
So, I just nuked and paved this X260 and installed #Debian on it so I could use it on the go tomorrow without having to worry about my personal documents being exposed for want of disk encryption.
Pity, I was liking NetBSD. hopefully I'll have more patience to go through the documentation later on and learn it properly.

This is the one I've ordered, hope it helps. I now have like 7 USB WiFi dongles here and this is the only one that worked on #NetBSD out of the box ๐
https://amzn.eu/d/06yuUcrK
So the KVM switch setup worked fine on NetBSD too, but running it on this box reminded me of an issue I have with it.
Whenever the system boots with the monitor turned off (or in this case, the KVM switch toggled to the other machine), the boot process hangs. If I unplug the monitor/KVM the system boots normally. It also boots normally with the monitor on or toggled to it.
This happens even if the machine is plugged directly, so regardless of the KVM switch.
I've found some trails of this issue being reported, but no solution...
https://gnats.netbsd.org/49398
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2014/11/17/msg039125.html
The thread is recent, with the last message on Apr 21st 2024.
Also, this solution did not work for me: https://marc.info/?l=netbsd-users&m=171366297626243&w=2
For now I'll be running just FreeBSD on this one, but I'd appreciate any help in making NetBSD also work.
So I've finally found a USB WIFI Adapter that works with #NetBSD for my #pine A64. Sweet (ralink Chipsets seem to be the way to go)

At some point in the past year, I had wifi working with #NetBSD on all the #RapberryPi and at the moment am at or slightly over 50% across the model fleet. Which is way better than 0%!

Sorry, I meant encryption on #NetBSD. Debian 12's encryption setup in the installer is perfect, from my experience. Now it only leaves /boot/efi unencrypted, instead of all of /boot, as in previous versions.
I got myself an used KVM switch for what amounts to USD 7.35 and everything works. I am so thrilled I keep fiddling.
The amount of cables has doubled, but I can now turn my now-ex-server into a full graphical setup at the touch of a button, literally.
I already had FreeBSD on it for a long time and all is working on it, both KVM switch and graphical stack. Now let's see how NetBSD settles into this box. 
Thanks! I just got an X260 as well, and that feels like such a nice machine. I'm still learning my way around #NetBSD, so I'm not daily driving that one yet.
